Naomi Lee

Maid: The Ascension

Darkly Verbena Mushihime-sama.

Background

A person with no friends. Naomi is a dark, dour and generally antisocial girl who keeps to herself and her strange obsession with critters creepy and crawly. Her short hair and eyes are an off-black dark brown, her skin tone is medium. She normally wears thigh highs, shorts, loose arm warmers and a hoodie but sometimes goes a bit over the top with the goth/punk/dominatrix/insert-alternative-fashion thing.

Naomi is one of the youngest members of the chantry and comes across as something of a pick-up off the street rather than a chantry brat. One time, when her hard carapace was down, she mentioned her grandmother was a powerful mage but no family of hers is ever to be seen. Naomi is basically hostile by default but is less abrasive to some people than others. The night life of Plymouth is her prowling ground, along with frequent trips into London to sate her insatiable desire to scare, dominate, hurt and poison. Other times, she stays out of everyone's way and the only reminder of her existence is the perpetual low-level infestation of the chantry house. Her natural way of magic is through the use of 'bugs' which, ignoring artificial Technocratic divisions, readily includes worms, leeches and small crabs.

Lore (Naomi)

1: She is 1/4 Japanese.
2: Actually, that's 1/4 Ryukyuan.
3: Her Verbena is an East Asian branch rather than local so she's technically a shrine maiden or something.
4: The H in her name stands for Hoshifuri.
5: Her grandmother trained her but vanished into the deep umbra in search of Hoshifuri island.

Most of Naomi's foci are either bugs or ways to propel or attract them. She also has limited generalist Verbena training however.

Rotes

Summon Swarm (Life 2 or 3/Mind 2/optional Corr 2)
This calls up a huge swarm of vermin and directs them with simple commands, often to aggress upon the enemy. While it doesn't cause direct damage, the insects it summons are very much real and the effect could be anything from disorienting to deadly. A swarm of the honey bees that pollinate the orchards of the Tella Estate could very easily kill a person as could any swarm modified to deliver poison. In any event, the enemy is now covered with her foci. The more advanced version can produce swarms from seemingly nowhere and/or composed of bugs that shouldn't be in the area.

Spook (Life 2/Mind 2)
Bugs scare people and sufficient numbers, proximity or unfamiliarity is enough to cause a huge fright.
